The Daily Telegraph's Mick Cleary reflects on England's decision to kick Quins scrum-half Danny Care out of their Six Nations plans.
"Stuart Lancaster has already made a bold statement of his managerial style, and shown himself to be more of a disciplinarian than his predecessor, a stance that can only stand him in good stead when the Rugby Football Union comes to deciding on a permanent head coach.
"Lancaster might have been tempted to take the easy way out with Care. Even though he had had cause to have stern words with the Harlequins scrum-half only a few weeks ago, this latest incident was once again on club duty.
"However Lancaster, who has made a good impression with his upfront ways and positive talk since being promoted to the job on an interim basis from the England Saxons, made great play on appointment in early December of the virtues of character and correct behaviour following England’s scandal-blighted World Cup campaign."
